About Director Jack May

Jack found his passion for dancing when he joined "Fresh Funk" a local Canberra Hip Hop studio at the age of 13. He gradually worked his way through the ranks to become a principal member of the school, where he contributed choreography towards the end of year production. He also regularly represented the A.C.T at Hip Hop and Freestyle competitions.

In 2009 and 2010 Jack visited LA where he trained in many disciplines of dance and had the opportunity to work with some of LA's biggest choreographic names such as Tony Tzar, Andre Fuentes, Brian Friedman, Tucker Barkley, and Jian Pierre-Louis.

In 2010 Jack moved to Melbourne to pursue a career in the performing arts and since then he's been working as a choreographer for several Full Time dance institutions (Patrick Studios Australia, The Edge Performing Arts School, Spectrum Dance, Ministry of Dance, The Space, and Dance World).

Having travelled internationally over the past few years, Jack has become a resident choreographer for a number of schools throughout Australia, and is now becoming one of Melbourne’s most highly sought after urban choreographers.

Jack is the Creative Director of Melbourne's based crew "Sole Symphony" whom were finalists for the 2011/12 Australian Hip Hop Championships, runners up for Step Off 2011, competitors in Groove Battlegrounds, and often perform at corporate events and functions.

- The Sole Symphony Movement provides up coming artists with a place to share/learn from industry professionals in an exuberant environment.

Jack was a member of “Collaboration – The Project" a contemporary company founded by Paul Malek. He played a co-choreographic role in the productions "Unanswered" and "Relations" and assisted in creating a number of pieces for "Project Y" a youth based contemporary company.
